Top the baked crust with the veggie/meat mixture, then pour the egg mixture over it evenly

Bake for 20-25 mins or until the center is set and the casserole puffs up. Do not bake so long that the top turns brown - it should be yellow with light brown around the edges

Cut casserole into 8-10 squares or as desired and serve right away, or refrigerate to reheat later on
